@screwtape as I was looking at the code (and in the context of the toot I'm replying to) I was thinking that I couldn't draw a line between collaborative programming and art even if I wanted to.
Even deeper than that .. it struck me as "doing" ( as in "creating"?. It's kinda hard to explain) with "code as a tool" something that's actually alive !

@vidak

@screwtape thank you for letting me join in!
I was taking a look at the src when I saw commit pop in!
Super exciting =D

@vidak

@screwtape of course you can! I'd actually feel honoured if you did so!

@dig

Did you ever know that if you have a @SDF shell account you already have a #XMPP account with your user name as a handle and all you need to do is set up a password?

In #SDF #Jabber server are created from the shell with the 'maint' utility.

1. Log in to the password server by running the maint program.
2. Type o to select optional features and social networking
3. Type j to set your Jabber password.
4. Quit from maint utility and wait one minute.

@WarnerCrocker it took me a while to find it but here it is.

This whole thing was _so_ exasperatingly obvious and had such a deep impact on how we use the internet to learn, access information, communicate with each other that I still have a hard time swallowing the fact that we had to undergo this whole sh1t show for so long!

It has always been so self evident that it never needed a lawyer to understand it! It just took simple observation and common sense!!

@WarnerCrocker

“It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.”

Finally someone had what it takes to say it on a court ruling !!!!

I can't believe this took so long and that boundaries had to be pushed to such a blatant extreme to come to such an unavoidable evident conclusion !!!

What a day! 👏😁👏

How much do you trust your File System?
What kind of idiot would do this on purpose?

rm -f .ssh/*

I'll tell you: The kind that is using #DragonFlyBSD #Hammer2

root@anzu:~ # hammer2 recover /dev/da0s1d .ssh /home/gnemmi/tmp
[gnemmi@anzu ~]% ls tmp/.ssh/
id_rsa.00001 known_hosts.00002
id_rsa.pub.00001 known_hosts.old.00001

Rename the files, moved them back to .ssh/ and done

Even the mtime got preserved!

In detail https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~gnemmi/recover

7 years without a corrupted file !

#RUNBSD #BSD

- NO Back up
- NO Snapshot
- NO Boot Environment
- NO NOTHING

Not even a program from the base system !!!

This is a real #DragonFlyBSD #Hammer2 "feature"!

If this doesn't save your money, your job or your client .. then nothing ever will ...

How many "vulnerabilities" to a flaw?

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz

Vulnerabilities:
- spectre_v1
- spectre_v2
- spec_store_bypass
- swapgs
- itlb_multihit
- srbds
- mmio_stale_data
- retbleed
- eibrs_pbrsb
- gds

So, and given that I paid 100% of retail price, the questions are:
- How many "vulnerabilities" does it take to mark a CPU as a "flawed" piece of hardware?
- Where do you draw the line?
- Why there?

Copyright was never about "creators", it was meant as the legal framework upon which publishing houses were guaranteed a temporary monopoly granted to maximize the profits for their investment for as long as they can

Encourage the creation of new valuable work for the public good was just a side effect that would only take place once publishing house could no longer profit from that fictional legal monopoly they've been granted
